Employees of the Binn Group gathered at a special celebration to mark the launch of‘BeBinn’- the embodiment of the company’s ethos and values to safeguard the safety, mental health and wellbeing of it’s workforce.
Binn Group has already been lauded as a pioneer of mental health care by establishing an industry first, in-house support service for its 140-plus employees.

BeBinn and the publishing of a company booklet dedicated to helping staff identify signs and triggers of mental health issues ranging from anxiety and stress to addiction and suicide, tips to ease symptoms, contact details for external help and the practical support available to them through Binn Group.
Chief executive Allan MacGregor, said:“Without our employees we would be nothing at Binn Group and it is vitally important to safeguard
their health and wellbeing.
“We are making the change from a traditionally male-dominated tough culture to one that can embrace the mental - as well as physical - issues affecting our staff.”
BeBinn ethos encourages and supports the entire Binn Group workforce to be confident, trusted, safe, responsible and reliable.
